UFC heavy hitter Houston Alexander recently spoke to UFC.com about fighting Kimbo Slice at the TUF 10 Finale:

He said:

“For some reason, I had a dream that I had to fight this guy about a year ago, and this is no joke. Then we used to talk in the gym and they’d say ‘you know, one of these days you might have to fight Kimbo.’ So it was no surprise when my manager Monte Cox called and said, ‘they want you to fight Kimbo.’ It was no surprise at all and I had already envisioned fighting him. For some reason, I knew it was gonna happen.

I’m not mad at Kimbo. Everybody’s upset about this guy because they think he’s his made-up warrior. The guy said it himself that he’s got a long way to go to become an MMA fighter, and it’s the same thing with me. I have the same street background and it took me a while to become an MMA fighter, but I think I’ve grown into one. It’s gonna take him a while to become an MMA fighter, but once he gets it, I think he’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

If you can get on the internet and make yourself famous off of beating people’s asses in backyards and parking lots, I’m not mad at that. It’s called capitalism, it’s alled being an entrepreneur, so if you can build yourself up to where you deserve the money that you get, I am not mad at that. You can’t call him a brute, because that was at a time they were calling me a brute. He’s learning like everyone else, I’m learning, and there’s no one who’s not constantly learning how to do MMA. So I have no problem with Kimbo.

I can’t worry about what type of Kimbo’s gonna show up. I’m gonna worry about what type of Houston Alexander’s gonna show up, and that’s it. We have a gameplan and I’m supposed to follow it. I’m gonna worry about what I need to do. If for some reason it ends up on the ground, just look out for submission of the night. I’m dead serious too.”
